LEGO Star Wars 2023 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

[Goofster]

Thrawn looks too blue, almost looks fan made, could just be from the shot but still, Rebels established that thrawn was a sort of bright pastel-ish teal, nitpicking lol.

Ahsoka's T-6 is bloody GORGEOUS. In live action it looks even better!!!

[Goofster]

I mean female at 0:36. Not magistrate

I don't think that is Rae Sloane. This female seems to be from the (New) Republic. Also, her skin seems too light., but that might be the lighting.

Very excited by this trailer!The T6 does indeed look amazing!
Lots of potential for more interesting sets. Hope to see the Dark Jedi, too, sometime  

Regards,
Mitch

I just hope they don't overwrite anything from the Heir To the Empire trilogy. One of the best pieces of Star Wars literature. They're clearly aware of Thrawn's heritage as they even used the phrase "heir to the empire" in the trailer.

They might bring in aspects of that, but that book is non canon and has already been re written

I have to 100% agree with you not because you are the admin and can do funky stuff with mine account but because you are right 😊.

Ahsoka Trailer was great and I'm looking forward for the series and hope it will be good. If this is the case I have to pick up some sets.

Watching the Ahsoka trailer....this summer's wave is gonna rule man

I'm hopeful, but the lack of Shin and Baylon, not to mention the Ezra and Thrawn that apparently are appearing in marketing, is getting to me. As is, if the show is good, I'll get the shuttle.

I prefer the deeper blue TBH, characters always look a little different in live-action and this brings him closer to his thrawn trilogy look.

Unfortunately, that's been overwritten since the sequels/aftermath trilogy. I just hope that if they are doing a lose adaption (which that line certainly implies), they have thrawn as he was meant to be.

Lots of exciting news from Celebration today, and it was only the first day! Hopefully we get a bunch of really cool sets based off of what's coming. 

 

As for Ahsoka, I'm really glad I got the Phantom 2 last year. I could see us getting a remake of that next year since it probably won't be included with The Ghost.

They are 😂, this is Dave Filoni after all,

Good media and good sets is all I (and I think most) will want. If the media is good, that is inspiring to get the set. I want the Andor set purely because of the show. 

Keeping an open mind! I did not like the sequels and didn't get any of the sets. Hard time reconciling characters like Ahsoka who started animated before live action but giving it all a chance no matter what. 

[omegabadbatch]

so no sets reveal at celebration yes?

Just the dioramas, UCS X-Wing, and 4+ set. Nothing that hasn't already been leaked or revealed.

I thought the same. Only issue is that Im not a fan of the design of the main vehicle so Im passing on it currently. But I loved the show enough to consider wanting to get this.

I agree tho. As long as the media is good and meaningful, I can suspend my issues with continuity for the most part. I liked the sequels UNTIL TROS which is still imo an abomination. But whatever.

Damn lol I was hoping for the Ahsoka sets...at the very least the T6. Maybe tomorrow??

Agreed, the ship itself from Andor...if it was the Fondor, easy money. I hope I can find it on discount. 

Hopefully! But I doubt it. It would be nice to have a set like the Bad Batch shuttle or Razor Crest go up for preorder early. From Ahsoka or something...maybe the gunship! But that is just wishful thinking in my opinion.

tomorrow is clone wars panel so I would like to see clone wars sets

I don't care what Disney says. Anything written by Zahn should be canon

Sure, Disney doesn't consider it canon. But Zahn has said he sees people being able to watch Rebels and read his newer Thrawn books and move right into Heir to the Empire. Nothing he's produced has contradicted what's in the Heir trilogy and beyond.

Ahsoka could be what finally begins to contradict it, but I hope Zahn has enough sway over the arc of his characters that it doesn't.

I wouldn't expect anything.

Technically speaking, Boba Fett and General Grievous started in animation before live-action. 

 

Update on 75364 from Promobricks: it's supposed to include a New Republic pilot and an Astromech droid with a dark blue and yellow color scheme. Three of the villains from the Ahsoka trailer are also included: Baylan, Shin and Morgan Elsbeth. (The former two were the ones with the orange-ish lightsabers and the third one we know from The Mandalorian Chapter 13: The Jedi.) This updated minifigure selection is a lot more interesting than just getting a bunch of New Republic pilots like we previously thought, though it is curious that we are getting three villains in what is presumably a hero ship set. I'm just glad that we're getting those specific characters this year though; that's less we have to worry about getting in additional Ahsoka sets next year.

It just occurred to me that this is the first Disney+ series to be getting more than two sets at launch, unless you happen to count those Obi-Wan Brickheadz from last year which would tie this series with OWK. I do think it's a bit odd that all three sets are hero ships (especially in a very hero-oriented summer) but I'm excited for all of them!

I do also want to point that the leaked Hera face and headtail pieces that leaked match her appearance in the trailer, so I definitely think they're legit.

Thanks for sharing. Per u/FluffySky6, via Classic_Spaceman:

I don’t remember what color the ships were, but the uniforms were blue and white 

No Zeb that I saw, looked all or mostly human.

Pilots in the new republic set, and the Yavin set has the white fancy helmets 

One character with darker skin and the new republic / possibly ranger print and if I remember right a mon calimari 

 I’m pretty confident it’s a male for the dark skinned character, and other than the pilot suit nothing note worthy 

 Zare Leonis seems possible from Rebels 

 Yeah, exactly. And the interesting bit is that the torso piece print was the same pilot suit that’s used in the new republic / possibly rangers set. But different “elements” because of different hand pieces 

I think each of those quotes pertain to the set in question. Their quotes aren't quite lining up w/ PromoBricks based on plurality. It also seems odd FS6 would have forgotten about the 3 non-New Republic minifigs.

 

Obviously I'm trusting Promobricks here. It's possible both are correct and obtained their info in different phases of the process. But, in either case, this does further suggest we should take Fluffy's leaks with a grain of salt.

Ahsoka $100 set, minifig lineup listed by falcon fan as Baylon (old man dark jedi in trailer according to subtitles), Shin (IDK), Morgan Elsebeth, a new republic pilot and an astromech droid

Ninja'd by an edit? That's cheating

Nice little bit of news for everyone. The Lego Star wars magazines (europe only to my knowledge) this month are a double special. All of them have an X-wing(micro) but there are versions which give a bonus gift of: Rey + BB8, Millenium falcon, luke skywalker, tusken raider, tie bomber and (IMO) most significantly, the 2020 501st Trooper. (They did the 501st Trooper in a magazine last year, and this double special is featuring previously featured gifts)

This edition of the magazine goes for £6 in the UK (not sure of EU price, but it's gonna be about 50% more than the normal magazine cost) So if you're out on your daily travels you could pick up some standard 501st Troopers if you missed the 501st Legion Set. The 501st Trooper isn't expensive on bricklink as it is but this is generally still slightly cheaper.

Yet another recirculation of the figure is only going to drive those prices down that little bit more for everyone else. F for lego investors but eh screw em.

That's issue 94 btw.

Do you happen to know what 12 they are lol?
I know germany, UK, denmark, poland and spain has them. I would assume France, Czech Republic, Belgium and Netherlands have them but not sure how to check that without a very expensive holiday.

So are there 2 ships in 100$ Ahsoka’s set or just one big?
